The safe, economic, and consistent operation of chemical reactors is essential for the profitable production of a vast variety of chemical products. Chemical Reactor Design and Control is a practical and unique reference for chemical engineers seeking to optimize the design of chemical reactors and their control systems.<br> * Illustrates how to use process simulators, like Matlab and Aspen, to facilitate design<br> * Provides integrated coverage of the many practical and important issues involved in design of reactors and their control systems<br> * Covers three types of classical reactors: continuous stirred tank (CSTR), batch, and tubular plug flow<br> * Includes sample problems to help readers to grasp the concepts.

From the Publisher:Chemical Reactor Design and Control uses process simulators like Matlab®, Aspen Plus, and Aspen Dynamics to study the design of chemical reactors and their dynamic control. There are numerous books that focus on steady-state reactor design. There are no books that consider practical control systems for real industrial reactors. This unique reference addresses the simultaneous design and control of chemical reactors. After a discussion of reactor basics, it:

Discusses how to use process simulators to address diverse issues and types of operations

This is a practical reference for chemical engineering professionals in the process industries, professionals who work with chemical reactors, and students in undergraduate and graduate reactor design, process control, and plant design courses.
